Orbi Whole Home AC1200 Mesh WiFi System Use the automatic Internet setup option You can set up your Orbi router automatically with the router web interface. Before you start the setup process, get your ISP information and make sure that the computers and devices in the network use the settings described here. When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all the information needed to connect to the Internet. For DSL service, you might need the following information to set up your router: • The ISP configuration information for your DSL account • ISP login name and password • Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this setting is rare) If you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your Internet connection is working, you no longer need to launch the ISP login program on your computer to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router automatically logs you in. Installation and basic setup takes about 15 minutes to complete. To automatically set up your Orbi router: 1. Make sure that your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is connected to the router with a wired or WiFi connection. • Wired. Connect an Ethernet cable to the router's Ethernet port and to an Ethernet port on your computer. • WiFi. Connect your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device to the Orbi setup network called Orbi_setup. Note: If you want to change the router's WiFi settings, use a wired connection to avoid being disconnected when the new WiFi settings take effect. 2. Launch a web browser. The page that displays depends on whether you accessed the router before: • The first time that you set up the Internet connection for your router, the browser goes to orbilogin.com, and the Orbi login page displays. • If the router web interface does not display, enter orbilogin.com in the address field for your browser to start the installation process. 3. Follow the onscreen instructions. The router connects to the Internet. Connect to the Network and 18 Access the Router User Manual

Use the automatic Internet setup option

You can set up your Orbi router automatically with the router web interface. Before you

start the setup process, get your ISP information and make sure that the computers and

devices in the network use the settings described here.

When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you

all the information needed to connect to the Internet. For DSL service, you might need

the following information to set up your router:

•

The ISP configuration information for your DSL account

•

•

Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this setting is rare)

If you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your Internet

connection is working, you no longer need to launch the ISP login program on your

computer to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router

automatically logs you in.

Installation and basic setup takes about 15 minutes to complete.

To automatically set up your Orbi router:

Make sure that your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device is connected to the
